THE MIDWEST PREMIERE
YOHEN
By Philip Kan Gotanda
Directed by Steve Scott
Featuring

Cheryl Hamada
as Sumi |
Ernest Perry, Jr.
as James |
September 18 - November 2, 2008
A divorced Japanese woman and an
African-American GI meet in
post-World War II Japan and fall in love. After decades of struggle, they have found an accepting Los Angeles suburb to call home--but their
peaceful
world is changing. More than a study of clashing cultures, Yohen is the poetic, resonant story of two partners who discover that intimate
relationships change with environments--and love, however time-tested, is never constant.
